Small correction. The OLE^▸ (Overhead Line Equipment, more often "OHLE") didn't fall down. It merely tripped out. Early reports of 'damage' were incorrect.

The level crossing seems to be between Evesham and Honeybourne. RTT^» (Real Time Trains - website) is reporting that train 1P02, 05:23 Hereford - Paddington, left Evesham on time but was 12 late at Honeybourne. It continued to lose time thereafter - +22 at Reading and +36 at Paddington.

But ... the problem does seem to have cleared by the time of the halts train.
